While there was a clear trend of most ectomycorrhizal decomposers to occur more frequently in older stands, some species (notably, Cortinarius ominosus and Cortinarius kauffmanianus ) were also common in younger stands, suggesting that a few species maintain the function of ectomycorrhizal decomposition in secondary forests (Packard et al ., 2025 ).
In the healthy glands of unilaterally infected animals, the SCC did not show a clear trend, varying throughout the experiment with no significant differences between consecutive periods, as was the case with production.
Despite this limitation, Figure 5 shows a clear trend.
A clear trend was observed where complexity indices initially improved with increasing NTO weight, reached an optimum around the 150% setting, and then deteriorated in the 200% group.
A clear trend toward clustering was found between different tissues of different varieties.
However, the SAFE score consistently demonstrated a clear trend across all mortality types, with a higher number of deaths in the 'rule-in' group than in the 'rule-out' group.
We did not observe a clear trend relative to time since last welding-fume exposure (OR3: 1.00, CI: 0.86–1.18), ranging from an OR3 for current welding of 1.22 (CI: 0.71–2.09) to a relative risk after ≥17 years of welding of 1.08 (CI: 0.52–2.21).
Although not statistically significant, a clear trend towards more pronounced renin activation was observed in the presence of contralateral RAS (Figure 7 ). 4 DISCUSSION In an animal model of unilateral graded RAS in the presence of a significant contralateral stenosis, a 25% decrease in perfusion pressure results in a significant decrease in distal renal flow, causing a more pronounced upregulation of renin secretion when compared to a model of graded unilateral RAS without significant contralateral stenosis.
Since thermograms corresponding to GAC patients showed a marked attenuation in the second individual transition compared to the healthy subjects, skewness g 1 and kurtosis g 2 were calculated for the thermograms: and only g 1 showed a clear trend and subject clustering according to severity of the disease ( Figure 4C ).
This reveals a clear trend: the stronger the screening power of a statistical potential, the greater its ability to identify shared key interactions.
Residuals that show a clear trend (which is reflected in a non-random distribution around Y = 0 with zero mean) indicate that the fitted regression model is inappropriate (that is, the model fitted to the data of the former class is not applicable to the data of the latter).
Complementing this increase in genetic and molecular biological knowledge a clear trend has arisen towards genome-based individualised medicine; such genomics-associated discoveries have opened up vast options for health care systems with regard to patient management.
Plasma ALT activity showed similar tendencies but these changes did not reach a statistical significance despite a clear trend (Table 2 ).
Overall, neither increasing the TEMPO oxidation level, i.e., the surface charges, nor the lengths of blending exhibited a clear trend in affecting T-CNF thickness, but T-CNF lengths seemed slightly shortened when the surface charge increased from 1.42 to 1.48 mmol/g, possibly by breaking the β-1,4-glycosidic link.
The data follows a clear trend and even without further analysis the difference in relaxation properties of the central and terminal residues of the octasaccharide can be appreciated, as well as the difference between the various lengths of the polymer.
First, looking back at examining the fluorescence quenching efficiency under different excitation wavelengths, a clear trend of increasing quenching efficiency corresponding to the increasing excitation wavelength from 349 to 530 nm was obtained ( Fig. 6d ).
There is a clear trend towards a progressive increase in the use of non-cemented prostheses over time.
Similarly, the hydrodynamic diameter of the nanoparticles did not show a clear trend.
The specific heat per site shows minimal size dependence for the Zeeman interaction but displays a clear trend for the exchange and dipolar terms: the temperature at which the specific heat reaches its maximum increases with system size, signaling enhanced cooperative effects and a shift toward bulk-like behavior.
The incidence of CCA varies between regions, but globally, there is a clear trend towards an increase in the incidence of iCCA and a decrease in the incidence of dCCA.
22 23 There is a clear trend in the literature over the past 30 years toward attempting to predict pregnancy complications in the first trimester, a concept known as “inversion of the pyramid of prenatal care.” 23 Furthermore, apart from the fact that high-risk women can be monitored closely looking for signs of PE or fetal growth deviations, recent randomized trials and meta-analyses have shown that prevention is now possible through the use of low-dose aspirin, which when initiated before 16 weeks of gestation significantly reduces the risk of severe PE 24 25 that would otherwise require premature delivery.
The results revealed a clear trend of decreasing PP production and ZN catalyst productivity as the DMF concentration increased, suggesting an inversely proportional relationship between these variables and DMF concentration.
Due to the high disparity of the results, a clear trend of influence on mechanical properties is hard to identify, but it is obvious that layer thickness has a certain influence on mechanical properties.
Although our estimates of risk in the Junju cohort did not always reach statistical significance, we observed a clear trend in the reduction of risk when the analysis was based on protective thresholds.
In parallel, upregulation of Icam1, Vcam1 , and Ccl2 in aortic tissues from psoriatic mice was observed, together with a clear trend towards an increase in the expression of Cxcl10 chemokine, ligand of CXCR3.
